Jackson Parish, Louisiana

Jackson Parish sits in north-central Louisiana, about halfway between Monroe and Shreveport. It’s small-town America at its core. Jonesboro, the parish seat, has a population under 5,000.
Folks here know their neighbors. The parish got its name from Andrew Jackson, and you can feel that history in the air.
Hunting and fishing are big draws, with Caney Lake offering some of the best bass fishing in the state. Despite its size, Jackson Parish has produced more than its share of pro athletes and politicians.
